Balls
My senior league plays with 375/44 balls. I believe we use the Diamond brand. Most players think the ball has no carry. Although I assume that\'s the purpose of 375/44 balls, I\'m wondering if there is a ball with the same compression and core that does have some or more carry and durability than the one we currently use. Any help? mmaf in central oregon

Balls???

44/375's...That is the purpose of these balls. We use the Wilson/Demarini 44/375 here in Hawaii and have the same results.
Durability is tremedous, we use the leather ball.
Flight and carry is the same. If you hit it will leave the yard (300ft).
All ASA play here in Hawaii uses this ball. It is also the ball that ASA uses for their National Tournaments.
Last year in Vegas the ball used was the Decker Shark.
The markings were 44/375 but I think that something was up with that ball. The ball was leaving the park regularly.
Then I hear that Decker was sited for mis-printing of their softballs or something.
Obviously harder balls give more action as far as fencing the ball goes but the 44/375 brings the defensive game back to the players.

The best ball I have played with that was 375/44 is the Decker Shark. It has excellent carry and durability. I recommend them highly. By far one of the best balls on the market.

Gary 19 you sound like a pissed off super star. I sure would like to see you play ball. What part of the country do you play ball in and what level and the name of the team do you play with in the senior tourneyments. If all else fails I should see you play in Saint Louis for ISA tourney in August. I wonder what you will be swinging to hit those mush balls.
